lpv:translated text	"Mr President, at the beginning of this discussion, I was reminded by Mr Dupuis of the moral depths to which I had sunk with my report on Russia. I harbour no hard feelings towards him for saying that, and I remain faithful to this dual-track policy, also politically speaking. With regard to the Russian Federation, it is, in my opinion, very judicious always to talk in no uncertain terms, even if this involves Chechnya. We therefore regret that the presidency in Stockholm failed immediately to refute the statements by Mr Putin, who draws parallels between the conflict in Macedonia and that in Chechnya, and did not substantiate our stance. I believe that our Russian colleagues respond better to tough talking than evasive behaviour. Furthermore, it appears to me to be of the utmost importance, with regard to Russia, to underline how important matters such as the northern dimension are – no need to convince Sweden of this – but also how important Kaliningrad is becoming, especially as it will form an enclave in the European Union where the rules for the inhabitants will need to be adapted in such a way that they, for example, will benefit from the Schengen . In this day and age, in which Schengen is becoming increasingly computerised, this should be child's play, and it should also be possible for the citizens of Kaliningrad to benefit from the regulation on obtaining visas. With regard to the Balkans, I am delighted that the Serbian police had the courage to arrest Milosevic. I hope the SFOR stabilisation force will pluck up the same courage to arrest Karadzic, for now that Belgrade has been able to take this step, we cannot afford to lag behind in Bosnia. The Council must therefore exert pressure on all those who are responsible for SFOR to arrest Karadzic. It is also clear that the Serbian Head of State cannot be treated differently from any other Head of State in this respect, simply because his actions have been more evil. I believe it is absolutely vital that he should be brought to The Hague, and that Serbia should certainly not form an exception in this respect."@en1
